Does Captain Toad count?


I'd consider Captain toad a new IP. Unlike Hyrule Warriors which is Dynasty Warriors with a Zelda skin Captain Toad was one of the more unique games of the year... All it really had in common with other franchises is the Toad character and the little mini game in Super Mario 3D.

I'm anxiously awaiting a DLC for it.

Splatoon could do it but I don't think it will. Oh well, Nintendo has enough great IP's. They don't need more.

Splatoon will feed your needs. That said why not count Nintendoland and HW? Might as well not count SSB/MK/Paper Mario/etc for their respective console releases :0

Edit: NES Remx is one


I disagree with that. Nintendo hasn't gone anything to make me confident that Splatoon with be a financial success the way a lot of Nintendo fans think it will be. No one knows that that game exists.


Your going to be wrong yet again :)

"Wonderful 101" sold horribly, but was AWESOME! It "successfully" kicked my ass for many, many hours.

Lol, there is no "yet again." No one outside hardcore Nintando fans knows anything about that game.

Nobody's talking about system seller, but if you thinkthe game wont sell well, thats on you, hence why i said you'll be wrong yet again

It just strikes me as the single easiest game to advertise for with a few commercials on Cartoon Network/Disney/Nick for the kids and maybe a Hulu/Netflix commercial for the adults.

I'm excited as a 26 year old for it but I know a commercial for this game would have had me seriously pining for it as a kid.

I'm ashamed to say I never played it as I only got the Wii U last May and there were other priorities on my mind... I think I'll go pick it up this afternoon, it's down to $30 or something like that.

I'm not talking about being a system seller and I'm not excuding anything. Nintendo isn't doing anything to let people know that this game exists. I don't think this game has any more mass appeal than W101, and Nintendo isn't doing anything different to advertise its existance. Thinking this game will sell well is wishful thinking is you've got nothing to back it up. And there's no reason to say "yet again." 99% of my predictions are correct.
